Uniform color transfer

Abstract

We present in this paper a general algorithm called uniform color transfer for transferring dominant colors in one image to another. Our algorithm frees users from interactions required for colorizing grayscale image or transferring color between images. Different from existing algorithms, we cluster the source color image into regions using the GMM-EM method, and the target image using the K-means algorithm. We then impose chromatic mean values on corresponding source image regions in the target image. Experiments showed that our algorithm can give better results.
